Bill Summary
AN ACT AMENDING SECTION 13-3602, ARIZONA REVISED STATUTES; RELATing TO ORDERs OF PROTECTION.
AI Summary
This bill amends Arizona law regarding orders of protection, specifically clarifying who can serve these orders. The key change is that a private process server, which is an individual hired to deliver legal documents, will no longer be permitted to serve an order of protection if that order grants exclusive possession of the parties' residence to one person. This means that for orders where one party is granted sole occupancy of the home, service must be handled by law enforcement or other authorized officials, ensuring a more controlled and potentially safer process in these sensitive situations.
